VALENTINE DAY.
Bill Arp Talks About the Good
Old Saint.
, And the Day Which is Observed by the
Folks 7he I hiloMopher at
Work iu Ilia Garden.
--
How grateful is the first blush of coming
spring! It has not come, but it is
not far away and the robbing have
brought us the news. We see them
now every day and they cheer us with
their presence. I would not shoot a robbin
and am sorry that I ever did. I would not
shoot any bird that administers toour pleasure.
It is a sin to kill anything for sport—that is
except snakes. What a beautiful innocent life
the birds enjoy—that is ex* ept hawksand buz
zards and yet the boys kill birds just to be
killing something. Very often they wound
them ami the poor things linger in pain and
die in misery. Boys, it is all wrong; don’t
do it. When you go hunting hunt for
game that is good for the table, such
as squirrels, rabbits and partridges, but d* n’t
blaze away at every little bird you see. Don’t
shoot the robbins nor the doves. They arc too
gentle and loving to bo killed. They love our
homes and habitations.
It i. an old superstition that the birds
choose their mates on Valentine day. Os course
this is not. true, for away up north it is still
midwinter, and away down south the spring is
over. It is only a narrow belt of country that
li;in the vernal equinox in March. Whether it
is winter or siiinmer docs not depend upon the
months, but where we are located. The old
world was first settled in our latitude north of
th** collator, and so all the names ami signs and
trad Lous and superstitions have come down to
us along the same parallels, but they don’t fit
Hom*' oilier count.i' snt ail. It is hard for us to
rcaliz*’ that away down below the equator De
cember is hot and Jul}’ i *:n!d. St. Valentine
never lived down tlr-re where the birds began
to mate in September and the March winds
do not blow m>r th* dogwood bloom in April,
nor the children have their picnics in May.
'The whole course of nature’s seasons is revers
ed ami we would hardly know ourselves were
wc suddenly transplanted there. I was read
ing the other day in a northern paper about
the terrible blizzards in that legion, where
the therinoinetcr was s<) degrees l&low zero,
ami in another column was the foreign news
that told about the awful heat in south Aus
tralia where the thermometer was 120 degrees
above zero on the 15th of January. This was
only a difference of 170 degrees, anil the people
in both countries were suffering about alike,
though in one it was heat and the other cold.
'Rhe good St. Valentine was beheaded about
:5O years after Christ. He was a man of great
learning am! piety ami charity, anil everybody
loved him but the wicked Emperor Claudius,
and so the people commemorated his virtues
by making the day of his death a notable day.
As ho loved everybody ami everything, they
got up that pretty superstition about the birds
mating. Afterwards the boys and girls took it
up and said it was a good time of the year for
tin in to mate, ami so they started the custom
of writing love lettersand playing sweetheart
for a little while. At first they drew lots for
th* ir mates, ami a pretty, sweet girl had to
play sweetheart to a knock-kneed, cross-eyed,
twisi nose booby if she drew him.
The young people love to receive pretty val
entines that speak loving words in pretty
verse.';, and there is no harm in that kind.
They are symbols of love’s young dream, and
ar* for lads and lassies only. These old bach
elors ami maidens who have fallen in love ami
fallen out a score of times, ami have fooled ami
flirted w ith Cupid until he has lied from their
hearts, have no right to send or receive a val
entine. If they realty want to mate, let them
make a business tran-iactioii of it, and write a
business letter and say “yours truly.’’
Mr. Joo M. Brown is in love with everybody
I know, for ho has issued the prettiest valen
tine I ever saw ot a business kind. It is a
gem a thing of beauty, ami the story it tells
of the. battle of Kenne-aw, ami how the blue
and the gray met together in love and kind
ness over their dead comr.uh is worthy of
the good Saint Valentine. It makes a man
feel like taking tlie Kennesaw route and going
up north ami hugging every soldier he met.
Ft bruary has a curious history. In fact, it
took several centuries for the year to get split
up into months as they are now’. Augustus
(’(•Mar had August put in the calendar to please
his own vanity, and .Julias (’osar had July put
into get even with Augustus; and so King
Numa had February put in in honor of the
festival of Lupercus Februus, one of their
mythical gods. This festival was held an
nually on the 15th day of February, und some
historians say that the observance of the 14th
day * ;’mo from that test ival. May be it did.
M.iy be it dident. The good saint has the
credit of it, and the best right to it, and so wo
will let him keep it. Then* is no use in under
mining everything that has been pleasant to
us in the past. They have blotted out William
'fell and are aft* r Shaksja are. and the other
day I saw an article headed “Santa Claus must
go.” S >ine men would assassinate .loan of Arc
and All.ulin ami Sancho Panza and Cinderella
and Jack ami the Benn Stalk and I nclo Toby
and T*»m (I’Shanter and Christmas ami the
Fourth »»f July. What is the good of drying
up all the imagination of our natures? Here
are the very names of the days of the week
that came *lown to us from the Scandinavian
mythology, ami another inj thology gave us
the names of the planets and ■ on st el lat ions.
So let St. Valentine ami St. Patrick have
their days, and St. Paul and St. Peter their
churches, and St. James h s hotels.
Spring is coming, ami as usual, from time
immemorial, I have been wortiing in the gar
den plantin ', potatoes and peas nud onions and
strawberry plants and ever and anon Mrs. \rp
would nalk out and smile on me and encour
age me to k-ep <*n that lino if it took me all
summer. My back hurts me right now. I got
down * n my marrow bones and put out ,( 0
strawberry plants with my own hands and
knees. No little boy to help me now, for he is
at school, and L have to wait on my old sell all
the Mrs. -\rp advised mu tedav to stop
digging awhile ami cut up some stovo wood for
a recreation. 1 read a very sad account about
an old man cutting stove wood and a stick Hew
1 up and hit him in the eve and nut it out.
1 told In r about it amt she said she didn't
rec-kon it w< uhl happen again in a hundred
\ .1 It to >k mo two days last week to grade

wrong way to plant out roses, bho sax ; that
txcrci.eis g» *d forme fori am getting too
loiuni and xvoik will reduce inc ami make me

all right ami 1 shant complain.
There's another dog come home- Ralph is

to mn I his lire dog home. That m1! es our

thought I heard a man say, “bite him, 'Tramp!
seize him, 'Tramp!” So J hurried tlown there
and found a big, brimlle, strange dog just tear

Freeman straightened up with indignation,
ami said “he is not my dog, sir. I don t know
any thing about him. It he is at my house he

My opinion is that that dog is a tramp. I
can’t k<»ep these stray dogs from eating hog
meat when they arc hungry.”
Well those Logs never troubled ns any

greatly increased. Bill Arp.
Brazilian Flour Corn.
From th? Gwinnett Heral l.
Mr. D. L. Born dropped in the Tferald office
last week. We asked him what he knexv of
the Hour corn that was creating some excite
ment in the county.
“Well,” he said,”! know|soniething of it. I
travel frequently through middle Georgia,and
have seen it in all stages of its growth and cat
the flour made from it. I regard it as a bless
ing to this state.
”1 know a man in Morgan county who made
last year I ( JG bushels on four acres, besides
txvcnty-five loads of forage.”
“7 hat was certainly big cropping,” wo sug
gested.
“Yes, but his neighbors verified his state
ment. It was on fine land and xvell prepared.”
“How do they plant ami cultivate it ?”
“The land is prepared by being broke well
and then cheeked off three to four feet, de
pending on the quality of the soil.
‘‘lt is manured in the hill ami thinned doxvn
to one stalk. This stalk succors out and pro
duces from four to six stalks, and each stalk
will have two to three ears of corn. I do not
doubt the statements as to the yield, made by
the gentleman, I have quoted. Last year I
planted less than a quarter of an acre, on this
land near Norcross and made fifteen bushels.”
.1. T. McElraney says: I have seen the corn,
the flour and ate the bread, and that, you
know, is gospel evidence. If the people out
west have found it out, we have been buying
the flour from them, for 1 can't tell it from or
dinary wheat flour, and 1 don't believe any
other man can.
G. R. Stephens planted a small patch last
year ami had some of it ground at our mills.
It grinds in -wheat mills, and goes on through
the bolt; the advantage is it has no smut, and
xve will need nosmutters xvhen it drives xvheat
out of this country, as 1 think it will eventu
ally do.
This corn will yield as much as ordinary
corn on ordinary land, ami twice as much fod
der. 'The ears are small, but larger than com
mon pop-corn, ami it has three or four ears to
each grain planted.
From the Mciui'l e Journal.
Mr. Robert Hayes, of this vicinity, planted
a small patch of Brazilian flour com last
spring, and makes a very favorable report of
his experiment. He planted only about one
fifteenth of an acre, ami from this lie gathered
five bushels of corn. The grain is planted and
cultivat'd the same as common Indian corn,
except that the numerous sprouts or suckers
that branch out from the root, of which there
are usually from live to fifteen, are left stand
ing, for these produce much of the grain.
Three or four grains are planted in each hill,
but only one stalk is alloxved to grow, but
thesepwith the suckers, generally iill out the
space allowed them, The ears grow from the
sides of the main stalks and from the top or
point of the suckers, ami the number in the
hill varies xvith the number of suckers. Mr.
Hayes gathered fourteen good cars from a
single hill. The ears are from six to ten Inches
long, and a little smaller than the common
yelloxv corn. 'l’he grains are flat, rather short,
and milk white.
Mr. Hayes had a portion of this corn made
into flour, ami has shown us samples of the
biscuits and bread made from it. The bis
cuits, though not as white as those made from
the finest grades of Hour, are equally as white,
ami cannot be distinguished from those made
from medium grade flours. And a remarkable
fact is that, xvhile the flour of the corn makes
excellent biscuits, the bran makes as good corn
bread as the best Imlian corn, and the seconds
or shorts make good batter * akes.
Mr. George NV. Granado, a neighbor of Mr.
Hayes, also raised a small ciuantitv of this coin
last year, and is enthusiastic in its praise, ami
both agree that in many respects it is better
than the Kaffir corn, and is much surer and
far more productive than Indi.’.n corn. They
xvill give the Brazilian a thorough tr al this
season, and advise others to do the same.
They are confident that on good land, properly
fertilized and cultivated, and xvith average
seasons, this corn xvill yield from eighty to one
hundred bushels to the acre, besides a very
heavy crop of fodder.

A I'ooi' Thing is Dear at Any Price.
Ono of the surest evidences of success is the
rise of imitators, xvho, without experience,
claim to do xvhat others are doing, quicker,
cheaper, and mor.', effectually. Every man in
badness knows what xve icier to. But do men
of good judgment in other branches of trade
welcome such iH'isons to their credit and c ;-
teem? Don’t they say. “Wexvill trust the man
xvho has been i efcre the public longest.” Os
course they do. Drs. Starkey Paleu’s Com
pound Oxygon Treatment ior Consumpti n,
Neuralgia, ami Rheumatism, has been in actu
al use for sixteen years. More than forty thous
and Treatments have been sold to as many dif
ferent homes throughout lais land. Its suc
cess has been marvelous. Therefore, imitators
are springing up in many parts of the country.
Scarcelv any higher assurance *.( the value of
a useful discox cry or intention can be given
than the fact that unscrupulous persons at
tempt to deceive the public by offering them
an article to which they give the same name,
ami to xx hich they attribute th*' same qualities.
I'ho intrinsic value of an article is best evi
denced by efforts to make gain thr< ugh imita
tion.
Let it be clearly understood that the only
genuine Compound Ox’ygen is niannfacturea
in Philadelphia, Pa., at No. l'_“J \rch str* *t.
by Drs. Starkey X Palen. Any substance made
vlsvxvhere, and called Coinround Oxygen, is
spurious and xvorthles<, and ih. -e who buy it

the Battle of Chancelloi s/ille.
1 A Crave little Girl V.'iio Cluixgto Her Daby
I'rotber Tl.roujfl, a Shower
of Kead.
Written tor the Constitution.
“Ilere,” said Plunkett, a-t lie handed over a
strip of yellow paper, “er fellow wrote these
lines on his cartridge-box sorer table, and it
| was while the balls w/:re flying and the bombs
j were bursting, and before he got through they
were ordered forward, and I picked it up from
I where lie let it fall in the confusion and I’ve
kept it, and Brown’s gals say if he’d er
finished it it would or been er poem. Here are
tiie lines:
I‘ines grew thick at Chancellorsvillc,
And shells v.erj falling fast,
The ground was covered o'er with straw,
And twigs and withered grass;
The tattle raged, the Confeds charged
And drove the “blue-coats” back,
And held tiie field—with wounded strewn,
Amid the battle’s rack;
The cry of “Fire!” above the din
Was heard, and like a storm.
The flames rushed o’er the battle ground—
O’er many a soldier's term;
The men in blue took in the scene
With 1.0.r0r and dismay;
Between them and their burning trlcnds
There loomed a line of gray;
“Fix bayonets!' the quick command
Os oilicers in blue;
“We'il avc our comrades fre in the fire
Or we Hili perish, too;”
“Steady, steady!’' the battle's rage,
Was liercest of the day,
But not a single backward step
Was forc’d that line of gray.
“1 could tell you er heap erbout that fight,”
continued tiie old man.
“Chancellorsville is up the river from Fred
ericksburg, and I think it’s what was after
wards called the “Wilderness,” when old
General Grant got down there. Thar’s er
world ol pine land erlong there, but they ain’t
the long piues like we have in Georgia, they
are kinder stubby like and tiie limbs come
down nearly to the ground, and I seed Gener
al Wright on er horse what they said the la
dies of Augusta give to him go er sailing
ermong them limbs, and got his long hair tan- i
gled up oround them and liked to have got
snatched often the horse’s back.
“Hooker was the yankce general at Clian
collorsville, and the boys ermong the yankecs
would tell our fellows from ercross tho river
how he’d fight, and .Mr. Lincoln come down to
Fredericksburg and reviewed tiie army, and
we could see them on the other side of tiie
river, and our fellows begin to think that they
wouldn’t have old Burnsides to deal with, but
Hooker couldn’t do nothing with Lee nor none
of ’em, as long as he had anything like an
army.”
“But,” spoke old man Brown, “Hooker
made Gordon’s brigade skin oaten the breast
works down at Fredericksburg, and as they
run lialf bent, the yankees let ’em have it, and
1 never seed tiie like of men shot under the
shoulder-blade during of the war, but it was
because they were Hanked, tiie reason they
run.”
“But,” resumed Plunkett, “what I was go
ing to tell you erbout was tho fire during of the
battle.
"Tiie bombshells set the woods on fire and
there was er lots of fellows burned, and if ever
you seed fighting it was there. The confeds
had just run the yankees back and held pos
session of the field, and when the woods caught
011 lire the yankecs tried to regain the
ground so as to save their
wounded, but they jist might
as well been er butting ergin Stone mountain
for the confeds wanted,to save their wounded
too, and they stood. Three times tho yankees
charged and they got nearly close enough to
club guns, but they had to go back and pretty
soon tho ‘details’ beat tho fire and got it stop
ped, and everybody was glad of it, for there
waru’t no old soldier but what wanted prison
ers treated well, and they were all treated
well, on both sides, as long as they were in
the hands of men who fought—it was fellows
that didn’t fight that treated prisoners bad and
it was fellows who didn’t fight that gets so
tainacious mad. Bullets and bombs had er
mighty soothing effect on er fellow’s temper,
leastwise it did mine.
“But I'll tell you one thing,” continued
Piunket, after a pause, “that was er mighty
big difference in tiie looks of tiie prisoners cap
tured in Virginia and these here fellows what
Sherman had with him. Lee’s army captured
or many er fellow that you couldn’t tell no
more what he was talking erbout than you
could er duck qua-quaing erround. They
hadn’t been over here long, and I may be
taken, but I don’t think they fit like these
western fellows, but they fit well enough
for me.”
••And me too.” chimedin Brown, unable
longer to contain himself.
“But,” continued Plunkett, “bayonets
haiu’t much use in tiie war, cepting to souze
down in the ground and keep your gun stand
ing up. You can’t find many folks that ever
fought with bayonets, but when the war first
broke out every fellow that went out had to
have a great big butcher knife, and Governor
Brown had some pikes made, to be used in
stead of bayonets, but we soon learned better
titan that.
“1 seed er mighty heap of tight places up
and down that river from Fredericksburg to
Chancellorsville, mid one time I took refuge
behind a tombstone that had on it;
* THE '■’MuTliE-i *
: WAS JIN ETON. :■
♦• • *
“But bombs and balls didn’t have no respect
for graves nor nobody's mother when tiiey
were sarching erround for confeds. and it soon
got too hot for me to stay there, and you ought
er seed me move when igot up.”
■'Them tilings make er fellow mighty suplo,”
suggested Brown, “and you may see fellows
so ured that they can hardly drag one fool be
iore the other that will get rested in er twink
ling and as pert as crickets when er bomb sails
ermong 'em.”
“But,” resumed Plunkett. “I seed er little
girl over to the left of the old Chancellorsville
tavern, that they couldn’t make run by their
balls, but that there tiro what I’ve told you
erbout made her git up.
“The little girl s folks were refugecd folks,
and they were living in er little house out in
the wilderness by some old gold mines.
The mother had went up tiie river and got cut
off from her home and the little
girl erbout twelve years old
was taking care of tho house and the little I
baby boy. and the fighting soon got so fierce
that it was safer to lay down at one place than
it was to try to run out, so she stayed and
hugged tho little brother close iu her arms,
anil lay down on the floor till she heard the
fire er etacking and er roaring, mid then she
riz and with tiie baby boy in her mtns and
her hair all streaming down her back, with
nothing on iter head, she pitched out amidst
tho shower of lead, and tiie soldiers seed
her and begin to cheer, and that
1 seemed to get her faster, till her
1 toot caught in er bush and tripped her and
I threw Iter down, and the little baby fell erway
in front of her. and er bomb bursted and tore
up the dirt not more than twenty feet in front,
but she never left her little brother. She I
grabbed him nud started ergin. and the yankees
eeased firing and the soldiers of both sides
cheered worse than ever, and tiie whole line !
pulled off their caps and waved to the little I
' lady a< she went over the brow of the hill. I
■ • hope >l.o lived to see the days of peace
' restored, mid 1 h<q>o she may raise up a family

i | baby brother. Sabgs.

“Royal” Absolutely Fore. ■
The only Baking Powder yet found by chemical annlysia
to be entirely free from lime, and absolutely pure, is the
“ Royal.” This perfect purity results from the exclusive use
of cream of tartar specially refined and prepared by patent
processes, which totally remove the tartrate of lime and
other impurities. The cost of this chemically pure cream
of tartar is much greater than any other, and it is used
Vi no baking powder but the “Royal.”
Dr. Edward G. Love, formerly analytical chemist for
the U. S. Government, who made the analyses for the New
York State Board of Health in their investigation of baking
powders, and whose intimate knowledge of the ingredients
of all those sold in this market enables him to speak au
thoritatively, says of the purity, wholesomeness, and superior
quality of the “Royal” :
I hat e tested a package of Royal Baking Powder
which I purchased in the open market, and find it composed
of pure and wholesome ingredients. It is a cream of tartar
powder of a high degree of merit, and does not contain
eithei alum or phosphates, or any injurious substance.
